Merensky Timber
A forestry and sawmilling concern, Merensky Timber supplies Pine and Eucalyptus lumber to southern African and international markets. Merensky plantations comprise both Pine and Eucalyptus species, totalling ca 65 000 hectares across South Africa. Ours are the largest privately-owned plantations in South Africa being managed on a sawlog rotation. Adhering to and often exceeding local and international standards for environmentally-sustainable forestry management practices, the Merensky plantations continue to provide the highest-quality saw timber to both the local and international markets. Merensky is also a pioneer of commercially-grown sawlog rotation Eucalyptus in South Africa, with plantations extending to more than 10 000 hectares. Many decades of continuous genetic improvements have resulted in superior Eucalyptus sawlog plantations. All Merensky plantations carry the prestigious Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) accreditation, an international audit benchmark assuring consumers that Merensky lumber originates from forests managed in a sustainable and responsible manner, according to the environmental social and economic principles of the FSC®. Merensky lumber is available in bulk direct to merchants or from Distribution Centres in major centres across South Africa. Product applications for our lumber include construction, furniture and joinery, among many others.
